From your choices, I voted [name]Lila[/name]. [name]Michael[/name] and [name]Madeline[/name] sound really nice together actually, but I tend to advise against using the same letter because you might be setting up a pattern. If that doesn’t bother you at all (you don’t plan on more kids, you have plenty of other M names you like, you wouldn’t care about having a [name]Michael[/name], [name]Madeline[/name], and [name]Alexander[/name] or something), then [name]Madeline[/name] might be my recommendation. I prefer [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Grace[/name] to [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Kay[/name].
[name]Lacey[/name] is pretty but to me it feels way past its time and it also feels like it wouldn’t age well on a woman. [name]Michael[/name] is such a solid, grounded name that I want something more timeless paired with it. I feel like [name]Lila[/name] comes close to fitting the bill, although it is a little trendy at the moment and to me there is a lot of long I sound in [name]Michael[/name] and [name]Lila[/name], although it’s not a particularly big deal. [name]Lila[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] has really lovely flow and meaning.
Not in the poll, but [name]Michael[/name] and [name]Lily[/name] would actually be my very top pick - both popular names that have huge history behind them. [name]Lily[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] is wonderful.
Good luck whatever you decide!
I think [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Kay[/name] is fabulous!
I prefer it to [name]Lila[/name]–since [name]Lila[/name] is so simple and different. I think [name]Madeline[/name] matches up much better.
I think [name]Madeline[/name] matches [name]Michael[/name] better - both are traditional, with a multitude of potential nicknames. I’d like [name]Michael[/name] and [name]Lily[/name], but not [name]Lila[/name], it just seems far too different to me, and [name]Lacey[/name] - much more modern, nicknamey than [name]Michael[/name].
I know you’ve got [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Katherine[/name] as middles, but if you’d consider either as a first name I think they would work well with [name]Michael[/name] as well.
